WUSB-Hub: World without wires
Darius Chang | Apr 02, 2007
The release of Y-E Data's YD-300 WUSB-Hub marks the beginning of the end for messy wires cluttering the undersides of your desktop.
Priced at 39,800 yen (S$512.67), it is certainly an expensive peripheral for a device which is, in essence, a four-port hub. The WUSB-Hub, however, is possibly the first product based on the wireless USB standard, which is supposed to allow up to 480Mbps at a maximum range of 10m. Unfortunately, early reports of this ground-breaking device claim a maximum bandwidth of 30Mbps at a distance of only a few meters. Nevertheless, it is a glimpse into a future where the only wire required for your desktop leads to the power socket.
